In Chihuahua, the new free textbooks will not reach the hands of primary and secondary children and adolescents in the next school year that begins on August 28, determined the Fourth District Judge in that entity Gabriel Pacheco Reveals, who granted a provisional suspension at the request of the deputy of Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) Francisco Sanchez Villegas and parents.
“We made it clear: we are not going to allow the ideological virus to reach schools. With this legal mandate, we give certainty to the state government’s decision not to deliver the books to Chihuahua’s schools,” said the opposition legislator to Morena.
According to the judgment, whose copy has HIGH LEVEL, It is a provisional suspension within an Amparo Trial that was admitted on August 9 in the Fourth District Court of Chihuahua.
The determination opens the door for similar Amparo Trials to be promoted in other entities so that the new books are not used in the 2023-2024 school year.
The lawsuit filed by the parents and the Chihuahua legislator challenges the order and/or authorization to print and distribute the textbooks free of charge, without complying with the legal requirements by the Ministry of Public Education (SEP), which violates -according to the case- articles 1, 3, 14, 16, 17 and 133 of the Constitution.
In this vein, the deputy Francisco Sánchez Villegas explained to the press that, together with the provisional suspension, Judge Pacheco Reveles ordered the educational authorities of the federal government to demonstrate that, for the elaboration of the new books, the procedures established were followed. the regulations, in addition to the fact that the texts must coincide with the current study plans and programs.
This is just what was also ordered in the final suspension that the judge granted since last May Yadira Elizabeth Medina Alcantara, by the Third District Court in Administrative Matters of Mexico City, who this week determined that the SEP has not proven that it complied with the legal requirements for the preparation of the new books.
In addition to the amparo demand promoted by parents and deputy Francisco Sánchez, he reported that he has also filed a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), against those responsible for preparing the books.
With this, the legislator wants the Federal Public Ministry to investigate whether SEP officials committed any crime by introducing “ideology and political indoctrination in schools,” said the deputy.
“This illegal process of textbooks, carried out behind the backs of citizens, violating the rights of our children, is a declaration of war against children and in Chihuahua there are men and women who will risk our skin in defense of our children,” he said.
At the same time, this week the government of the state of Chihuahua, headed by the PAN Maria Eugenia Campos Galvan, announced that it promoted a Constitutional Controversy before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation challenging the constitutionality of the new books.
That demand was already registered in the Court and it was turned Minister Luis María Aguilar Morales, who will be the one to determine the origin of the occurrence, together with the suspension that the Chihuahuan government also requested.
This last precautionary measure, if granted by the country’s highest court, would be added to the one already issued by the Fourth District Court in Chihuahua so that the texts are not distributed, although the Court can also determine that the suspension applies throughout the country, and not only in that state.
In addition to Chihuahua, the governors of Nuevo León, Jalisco and Guanajuato have determined that they will not distribute the new SEP materials in schools, while that agency has insisted that there is no legal impediment to the distribution of the texts.
